Ukraine, war
Dear rusky soldier how do you fare
so far from home in trenches deep
Were you taken from a warm embrace
or did you heed your nation's call
Did you come with golden dreams
of glory like the days of old
To cross the Dnieper River, as you did in 43'
and once again disperse the nazi scourge
To follow thus a man of steel, though his walrus did fall off
to venture into deadly war, one of supposed necessity
De-Nazification and military operation
the shaven metal man hoist and holler
words of terror, of allegations, thrown about and all around
Some are lies, some are truths
but which is which is hard to hear
yet I always frown upon those that do bring war around
Dear rusky soldier, I must admit
these words I write echo those I heard
I don't believe your cause is just, but in truth I can't be certain
Perhaps you are the one oppressed
as evil nations hold you down
Perhaps you are only taking precautions
against the growing Western world
Perhaps your mother weeps tears of joy
as your father's heart swells with pride
on behalf of your actions and the life you lay
in the trenches of Donesk, in the ruins of Bakhmut
Perhaps it doesn't matter what we say, what we hear
the truth, the lies, the words that beckon action on either side
For can you with words wash away the sins you took upon your soul
and the brooding red that colors the grounds of Ukraine
